About this award
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) received a $643,809 delivery order from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center under the ARDES II indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle (80MSFC20D0004) to provide Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) readiness support. This cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order, awarded on January 22, 2025, will be performed in Laurel, Maryland, with work completion targeted for January 31, 2026. The award represents a no-set-aside procurement, reflecting the specialized technical nature of the services required. DTN technologies enable reliable communications in challenging environments with intermittent connectivity, high latency, and frequent disruptions—critical capabilities for space missions, remote operations, and resilient network architectures that support NASA's broader exploration and operational objectives.
APL, a not-for-profit university-affiliated research center and subsidiary of Johns Hopkins University, serves as a primary technical partner to federal agencies across defense, national security, and civilian space programs. The laboratory maintains extensive expertise in systems engineering, advanced research, and technology development, supported by a substantial portfolio of federal contracts exceeding $4.95 billion in IDIQ ceiling value across multiple agencies including the Department of Defense, Missile Defense Agency, and various military commands. This DTN readiness support delivery order aligns with APL's demonstrated capabilities in complex systems analysis and research support for space-related initiatives and reflects NASA's continued investment in advanced networking technologies essential to future space exploration and communication architectures.
